So tomorrow is my last day in South Carolina before I head back over the pond to Blighty, reflecting on the past week or so spent with Richard Boatwright at the B1 HQ.

What a fantastic trip over again and I can’t thank Richard enough for his time, patience and willingness to explain in detail all aspects of the ES program and share his knowledge on Horsemanship. 

I leave more enlightened than when I arrived yet again with a fire inside me to do better for my horses and just be a better person to be honest. 

Big thanks to Richard, Lilly and of course Gus who Richard entrusted to me for the duration, I hope I have not ruined him too much! 

Watching him rope today made me realise what a great horse he  is when in the right hands and what a poor rider I am!
